Zambia, South Africa settle for 0-0 draw in U23 AFCON
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 09 - 11 - 2019

Zambia and South Africa kicked off their U23 African Cup of Nations campaign with a 0-0 draw in Cairo on Saturday in which both sides were guilty of missing some easy opportunities.
Both sides had their fair share of chances in an end-to-end first half, with their wastefulness letting them down.
South Africa's best chance fell to Happy Mashiane after 26 minutes when his free header missed the target.
Zambia spurned a glorious chance immediately after Mashiane's miss, with Lameck Banda firing high over with the goal gaping after a Biston Banda was spilled into his path.
In stark contrast to an enterprising first half, the second period was a bore affair, with neither side creating much.
Zambia and South Africa have one point each, with Cote d'Ivoire topping Group B with three points following their 1-0 win over Nigeria earlier in the day.
The top three in the tournament will qualify for next year's Olympic Games in Tokyo.
